I've read and agree to the Terms of Use <h1>Rules Summary</h1> Hi, and welcome to the ShakiraMedia forums! Below you find the forum rules and guidelines to keep the forum clean and to make sure that everybody will get along. Please read these rules <strong>carefully</strong>! Failure to do so might lead to warnings and/or a ban. The rules are devided into four parts: <strong> * Welcome * <a href="#1">Board Policies</a> * <a href="#2">Repercussions</a> * <a href="#3">Welcome part 2 / Help</a> </strong> Make sure you read these rules, and get familiar with them. Enjoy your stay! <a name="1"><h1>Board Policies</h1></a> These are the board rules. Read them, familiarize yourself with them. <strong>Prohibited content</strong> *Pornography is not allowed. Tasteful nude pictures may be permitted. *Copyrighted material is not allowed. Please make sure that you <strong>do not post material that is copyrighted</strong>. Exceptions are mp3 or video files which are not on sale; i.e. rare remixes or unreleased tracks. You <strong>may</strong> post teasers or clips up to 30 seconds in length. *Warez or help with warez. Additionally no cracks, hacks or anything else of that kind. <strong>Forum policies</strong> *Don’t use vulgar language. *Arguments are allowed, but be respectful. *Don’t spam the forum to get Shakira Dollars. *Don't post a reply that only has a smilie. We consider that spam. *Don’t post the same topic twice. Before you post a new thread, do a search first. *Rumors should be treated as rumors. Please include the word rumor in your topic title if you're posting something that is not confirmed. <strong>Signatures and Avatars</strong> *Only one signature per member. *Your Signature should not be larger than 240X600 and 100KB. *Avatars should be under 150KB. View these rules periodically. The rules can be changed at any time to suit the needs of the forum. <a name="2"><h1><strong>Repercussions</strong></h1></a> Unfortunately we have to warn people who do not follow the rules. We want everybody to know when we will warn, and what such a warning means. <strong>When does somebody get a warning, and what does it mean?</strong> *Everybody can get up to <strong>10</strong> warnings. *A single warning is given out when you broke the rules. *You will get <strong>2 warnings</strong> if you break the 'Prohibited content' rules. *You will get an extra warning if you get warned for the same thing twice. * A warning is what it says it is: It is to let you know that you are doing something wrong. You will need to change the way you act on the forum. <strong>What happens if I get a warning?</strong> * When you get a warning you will receive an PM (from a moderator) why you got the warning. * You <u>should</u> read the rules again in order that you don't get another one! * With your 7th warning you will receive a 48 hour ban. * With your 8th warning you will receive a 7-days ban. * With your 9th warning you will receive a 14-days ban. * With your 10th warning you will receive a permanent ban. <strong>I have been really good lately! Can you remove the warning? </strong> Unfortunately, no. We <strong>do not remove warnings</strong>. A warning is something to learn from. It does not immediately mean that you will be banned. It just means that you will need to look over the rules again, and adjust your behavior. <strong>I got a (temporary) ban! What now?</strong> *Don’t register for a new account. If we detect that you did, you will get a permanent ban. *Wait for the time to pass. For example if you got the 48 hour ban, wait 48 hours. *PM or Email an admin after the ban period has ended. He/she can unban you. <strong>I got a (permanent) ban! What now?</strong> *Don’t register for a new account. If we detect that you did, we will notify your internet provider. This means that your internet connection will be disconnected due to abuse. *You are no longer welcome on the forum. If you feel really bad about this you may ask an admin after <u>6 months</u> for an unban. This does not mean that you will get an unban! But we <u>might</u> be able to give you a second chance. <strong>Have fun!</strong>
